Deconstructing Detwiler's stellar debut

Deconstructing Detwiler's stellar debut
FLUSHING, N.Y. - Exactly a week to the day prior to his win over the Mets on Tuesday night, Ross Detwiler was informed he had made the Nationals' rotation. Detwiler, who previously was under the impression he'd be used as a reliever this season, was walking off the mound at Nats Park after having just thrown an inning in an exhibition against the Red Sox when manager Davey Johnson told him he should start preparing for his next start. The lefty did a double-take. "I thought I heard him...

Johnson reflects on Nats' 6-2 win

Johnson reflects on Nats' 6-2 win
FLUSHING, N.Y. - It all went right for Davey Johnson's bunch today. The Nationals led 1-0 after the first batter of the game, thanks to Ian Desmond's leadoff home run. They got an outstanding pitching performance from Ross Detwiler, making his first start of 2012. And they got five tack-on runs in the middle innings, allowing them to roll to a 6-2 win over the Mets. Detwiler's outing was the main topic of discussion with Johnson after the game, and the Nats' skipper was clearly thrilled...

Nats lead Mets late (Final score: 6-2)

Nats lead Mets late (Final score: 6-2)
FLUSHING, N.Y. - The Nationals have opened up a four-run lead on the Mets after pushing across three runs in the top of the sixth. The damage started when Ryan Zimmerman led off the inning with a double and was driven in by Jayson Werth's RBI single to right. That was Werth's first RBI base hit of the season. (He had an RBI walk on opening day.) Rejoice. Xavier Nady followed by singling to left, and Roger Bernadina subsequently reached on an error by second baseman Daniel Murphy allowing...

Detwiler dominant early in debut

Detwiler dominant early in debut
FLUSHING, N.Y. - If the Nationals can get this type of effort out of their fifth starter every time, they'll be a happy bunch. Ross Detwiler has thrown four sparkling scoreless innings so far tonight, holding the Mets to just two hits and striking out six. Ruben Tejada doubled to lead off the game and Ronny Cedeno followed with a single to left, but since then, it's been all Detwiler. The lefty has retired 12 of the last 13 he's faced and has only allowed a single ball out of the infield -...

Nats playing it careful with Espinosa, plus Ankiel update

Nats playing it careful with Espinosa, plus Ankiel update
FLUSHING, N.Y. - Danny Espinosa did, in fact, undergo a concussion test after yesterday's ballgame, but the Nationals' second baseman checked out OK after taking an elbow to the head in the ninth inning last night. "I'm 100 percent fine," Espinosa said. The concussion test consisted of various balance exercises and is designed to check for nausea or other symptoms of a brain injury. Espinosa said he fell asleep fine last night and woke up feeling as if the collision with Mets shortstop...

Michael Morse suffers another setback

Michael Morse suffers another setback
FLUSHING, N.Y. - The bad news on the injury front just keeps coming. Yet again, Michael Morse has suffered a setback in his strained lat, and the Nationals' left fielder has been shut down for the time being. Scheduled to play a full nine innings yesterday at low-A Hagerstown as part of the next step in his rehab, Morse was pulled in the seventh inning when he complained of more discomfort in his right lat. Morse will be examined by the Nationals' team doctors and will undergo additional...

Espinosa gets a day off after getting elbowed in head

Espinosa gets a day off after getting elbowed in head
FLUSHING, N.Y. - A day after getting elbowed in the head while covering first base, Danny Espinosa is not in manager Davey Johnson's starting lineup against the Mets. Asked how he was feeling after last night's game, Espinosa insisted he was OK, and he only had some dizziness for a few seconds after catching a Ruben Tejada elbow on the side of the head. It could be that Johnson just wants to get some at-bats for Steve Lombardozzi, who will play second base tonight, and that Espinosa is...

A mid-afternoon stat or two

A mid-afternoon stat or two
FLUSHING, N.Y. - The New York Mets currently have the best record in the major leagues at 4-0. Let's just take a second and let that all sink in. I know, I didn't see it coming, either. Tonight's starter for the Mets, Dillon Gee, won 13 games for New York last year in just his first full season in the big leagues. He's had good success against Nationals hitters in his brief career, as well; of the seven Nats who have faced Gee more than five times, Jayson Werth has the highest batting...

Will Yoder: With Storen out, we may finally get a good gauge of his value

Will Yoder: With Storen out, we may finally get a good gauge of his value
What is Drew Storen worth? It's a question that has been debated pretty heavily since the Nationals used their No. 10 overall pick to draft the talented reliever in 2009. In fact, it's fair to say that Storen, the team's 23-year-old stopper who recorded 43 saves last year, has been one of the more divisive characters on the team's roster among pundits, bloggers, and fans since he made his major league debut in 2010. The issue has been raised several times as the team's stopper has been...

Hagerstown center fielder Goodwin leaves game with injury; Ankiel homers

Hagerstown center fielder Goodwin leaves game with injury; Ankiel homers
Low Single-A Hagerstown center fielder Brian Goodwin pulled up lame running out an infield single in the second inning of Monday's game for the Suns, an 8-7 victory in 11 innings over Lexington. According to a club source, Goodwin left the game under his own power, but favoring what appeared to be an upper right leg injury. Goodwin was able to slowly put weight on the injured leg and make his way back to the Suns clubhouse, which is all the way down the right field line at Municipal Stadium,...

Breaking down where it all broke down

Breaking down where it all broke down
FLUSHING, N.Y. - Danny Espinosa caught an elbow to the head when he tried to retrieve Henry Rodriguez's throw to first in the ninth inning, but the Nationals second baseman says he'll be fine. Espinosa felt a little dizzy immediately after Ruben Tejada collided with him and briefly talked things over with a trainer on the field following the play, but remained in the game. "Just needed a second," said Espinosa, who added he won't undergo any concussion tests. When Rodriguez fielded...

Johnson talks missed opportunities after Nats' 4-3 loss

Johnson talks missed opportunities after Nats' 4-3 loss
FLUSHING, N.Y. - When you simplify the Nationals' 4-3 loss to the Mets tonight, the reason for the outcome was simple: The Mets made the fundamental plays late in the game, and the Nationals didn't. Manager Davey Johnson saw it all unfold in the final two innings. In the top of the ninth, with the game tied 3-3, the Nats got the leadoff man on when Steve Lombardozzi walked, but Ian Desmond failed to get a quality bunt down, and Mets first baseman Ike Davis cut down the lead runner at second....

Battle of the bullpens (Mets walk off with 4-3 win)

Battle of the bullpens (Mets walk off with 4-3 win)
FLUSHING, N.Y. - Both Edwin Jackson and Mike Pelfrey are out of this game, and with the score tied 3-3 in the middle of the seventh, the Nationals and Mets will leave the outcome of tonight's game up to their bullpens. Jackson went five innings in his Nationals debut, allowing three earned runs on four hits with two walks and six strikeouts. The outing was along the lines of what we saw all spring - Jackson showed he can overpower guys at times and rack up the strikeouts, but he allows a...

Nats brought their bats to New York (updated)

Nats brought their bats to New York (updated)
FLUSHING, N.Y. - Apparently all it took was a change of scenery for the Nationals to start hitting early in ballgames. The Nats have gotten out to a 3-1 lead over the Mets after three innings here at Citi Field, and they already have seven hits off New York starter Mike Pelfrey. Hey, even Jayson Werth has his first base hit of the 2012 season - a triple to the right-center field gap, which followed an 0-for-11 start. Washington jumped on top in the first after three straight base hits by...

Storen to see Dr. Andrews after feeling more elbow tenderness
FLUSHING, N.Y. - Drew Storen will be examined by renowned orthopedist Dr. James Andrews tomorrow after the Nationals closer felt some tenderness in his right elbow following a simulated game yesterday. This is the second time that Storen has been shut down by elbow problems this spring, as the 24-year-old felt tightness in his throwing elbow midway through spring training. He's been on the comeback trail recently, playing catch and then subsequently throwing off a mound, but after facing...
